Next Steps - or Right Steps
I am new and very grateful to find this website. This weekend, I attended a training by a Marketing & Sales Company and yes, I am a bit overwhelmed. Listening to webinars, reading books and the like a while now but I want to work myself practically on ....Setting Goals....
From this weeks training, the guidelines were, submit 5 offers per week. From the webinar, it's analyze 3 deals per day.
For Starters or Newbies, what's the practical approach to the Real Estate Investing.... I am happy to see people with very wide expertise sharing knowledge and I am grateful you are doing this.
But my question, when setting starting goals...what's practical, what's unrealistic and since I am in Maryland, is it advisable to start local vs. out of state. I am prepared to work hard...but I want to be practical as I am not looking to be into a quick fix scheme but for the long run....
Every suggestion will be appreciated....
Thanks...
